Many A Long And Lonesome Highway

I believe that Rodney Crowell is the greatest song writer to ever emerge from the Lone Star State.

And many a long and lonesome highway
Lies before us as we go
And in the end, I'll do it my way
Look for me where the fore winds blow.

Sometimes I forget who is really in charge. Life can be a long and lonesome highway, especially whey I try to do it my way. We try hard to further our careers and our education to succeed in this world because that is how society defines us. But we could achieve so much more if we let God be in charge of our lives. He has a plan for each and every one of us, but many times we miss out because we refuse to hand over control to Him.

I believe in love and danger
I believe the truth is stranger
I believe that fear is much too strong

I know as kids we all heard our parents say, "It's my way or the highway." Biblically, God is saying that to us. His way has many blessings, the highway is long and lonesome. Put God first, then everything else will fall in place. It's time to put egos aside and remember who the boss is. It's difficult, because I like to be in control of the situation. I think we all do to an extent.

And to the east the moon comes showin'
To the west there's storm clouds growin'
Though by myself I'm not alone no more.

Remembering who is in charge is... on this cowboys mind.
